For students

Currently, research universities are not only higher educational institutions that provide high-quality education, intellectual and cultural development, but also effective forms of integration of education, science and production, creating competitive human capital for the state. According to the development strategy of the NAO "Al-Farabi Kazakh National University", the modernization of the educational process, the diversification of curricula (bachelor's degree–master's degree–PhD) was carried out in order to harmonize the content of education with leading foreign universities. Taking into account the opinion of employers, the KazNU has developed innovative educational and professional programs that meet international standards and ensure that students acquire the professional competencies they need, strengthen practical training and scientific components that increase their competitiveness in the local and international labor markets. In these programs, the vast majority of credits are allocated to a professional block of disciplines, which, in turn, consists of a STEM-forming module, basic compulsory modules, individual educational trajectories and an interdisciplinary module. Elective modules consist of 25% of credits, which makes it possible to strengthen basic vocational training. According to transformation program of al-Farabi Kazakh National university, there is a tendency to reduce bachelor's degree programs with simultaneous updating of educational programs at all levels. At the same time, there was a steady growth in the number of students enrolled in postgraduate education programs: master's and PhD doctoral studies from the total number of students. The number of master's and doctoral degree programs is twice the number of bachelor's degree programs, and the university occupies a leading position among the universities of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the number of undergraduates and doctoral students.
